An ephemeris file gives the RA and DEC as a function of time. All positions should be in ICRS (J2000)The ephemeris file should cover the entire potential time span of the project (up to the entire Cycle), and may have up to ~90,000 entries.

The PI should use horizons web interface if possible. https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons.cgi

For Current Settings use exactly the following inputs on the Horizons web interface, substituting for your Target, Time span, and Step as needed.

If you have a solar project, you can use the ALMA Solar Ephemeris Generator, found at http://celestialscenes.com/alma/coords/CoordTool.htmlYou can reach the site from the ALMA science portal ([Tools] -> [Solar Ephemeris]).Please read the User Manual.
